zaban thak gai ba-khuda kahte kahte
tujhe be-wafa ba-wafa kahte kahte

karam goya mujh ko hai diwangi bhi
zamana hua ek sana kahte kahte

alam hain ki shaghl-e-faraghat ki saughat
sar-e-anjuman chup hua kahte kahte

zaban par yakayak laga qufl chup ka
kisi dusre ko khuda kahte kahte

dalil-e-mohabbat use kya main deta
wo kahne laga jab suna kahte kahte

rakhun fasla us gul-e-nau se 'adil'
kaha tu ne mujh se ye kya kahte kahte
